Pros and Cons

Pros

  • It delivers beautiful sound and moves rather seamlessly from input-to-input with my universal remote
  • This receiver automatically adjusts the sound for the programming you are watching to provide the best surround experience

Cons

  • The disadvantage of the TX-NR787 is that this AV receiver cannot be used as a preamplifier, since it does not have the analog multi-channel outputs that are usually found on 9-channel models
  • Another issue is that the receiver does not recognize my television so an optical cable needed to be used instead of the HDMI cable for sound
